014 l THE GEORGE NORLIN- Greetings from the President: It is an interesting experience to lecture in the greatest of German universities and to enjoy the friendly hospitality of the German people, but not so interesting that we do not await hungrily every mail with news from home and that we do not count the weeks until we may set our faces westward toward the Rockies. Our hearts are in the University of Colorado and it will be a glad day when we find ourselves working once again with and for our own people. Meantime Mrs. Norlin and I embrace this opportunity to send to faculty and students our affectionate good wishes. Sincerely yours, GEORGE NORLIN. Dr. Norlin is the Visiting Roosevelt Professor of American History and Institutions in the University of Berlin for the 1932-1933 school year. OD 'I O Clbud 'UD' 'Z'E6l '

Lnsrna Greetings from the Acting President: This is a year in which the metal of which we are made is being put through tests which will reveal whether it will withstand the forces of adverse circumstances and the corroding action of discourf agement and uncertainty. It is a time for brave spirits who are deter' mined to smile and carry ong,for brave hearts who do thoroughly and cheerfully the worthfwhile tasks which lie nearest at hand. Thought' ful planning, hard work, and cheerfulness have always been and probably always will be the best means of overcoming difficulties. Difiiculties we have. Can we meet them with that inner strength which has always characterized our people? This is a heritage too precious to lose. If the times prove that we still retain it, we shall have in this a sounder and more lasting basis for confidence in the future than anything else could give. Sincerely, OLIVER C. LESTER.
